FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM 3.2
TO: Mayor and Town Council May 16, 2023
SUBJECT: Authorize an increase in the contract for Dakota Press’ for the printing
and dissemination of the Live Locally Quarterly Newsletter
BACKGROUND
Since 2016 the Town has produced a Live Locally quarterly printed newsletter
(“newsletter”) as a means of reaching out to the community. The newsletter, which
focuses on programs, projects and events and features vibrant photos, informative
articles and graphics, is delivered to approximately 19,000 Danville households.
DISCUSSION
The Town has maintained a contract with Dakota Press for printing and dissemination of
Live Locally Quarterly Newsletter and has been extremely satisfied with the professional
and quality services of Dakota Press.
The Finance Committee authorized a contract with Dakota Press on July 9, 2022, for
$39,736 for printing services for FY 2022/23. The contract price for Dakota Press' printing
services for FY 2022/23 has increased by $2,500 from $39,736 to $42,236 because of the
continuing increase in the cost of recycled paper.
Sufficient funds are budgeted and appropriated in the FY 2022/23 General Government
Community Outreach budget to cover the cost of printing and disseminating the
newsletter.
It is recommended that The Finance Committee authorize an increase in the contract for
Dakota Press' printing services from $39,736 to $42,236.
